JoandWilly Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 yeah thaw and shell the peas, dont know why you have to shell them but everyone says to, what i know some people do is chuck some peas in a blender and anything else, add some garlic, maybe if your feeling gernerous some mysis shrimp or something and blend it all up, and freeze it into small squares like an ice cube tray or something(i find the mysis shrimp trays or blood worm trays are the best) if its to running or breaks up in the tank to much you can always add some agar to the mix to stiffen it up.

malawi_man Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 well i find when putting in whole peas the fish actually shell them, chew them up and spit out the shell but very quickly all the sheels build up and it makes the tank look bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
